Hello,

I have a general question about AS3. I recently purchased a piece of code - an image scroller - as a component. I like the component, and it works well - except for one issue.

When I first addChild the component to the display list of a Sprite, it works well, and the images begin with image 1. However, when I removeChild the component, and then later addChild it again, the images display at a seemingly random point along the image sequence. The component has a settings file and an images array which are xml files, and I have three separate pairs, one for each instance.

My question is this: is their a way to force components to re-evaulate (“re-set”) each time they load? I’d like to component to move to first image everytime.,

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I do have the component’s source code, but I’m not going to post it here. I am willing to share it with someone who thinks they can help me, but I’d like to hear from the community what best practices are regarding disclosures - I don’t want to piss off the developer by throwing his code all over the place.:trout:

Thanks!
